Bai Zihan's gaze darkened.

Obviously, fighting a single Great Ascension Realm Demonic Elder had already pushed him to the edge.

Now—two more had joined the battlefield.

Worse still, the one he had nearly killed was being healed.

Demonic Qi surged as the two newcomers placed their palms on the injured elder's back, stabilizing his shattered meridians.

He also swallowed several healing pills, which quickly stabilized his condition to certain extend.

However, no matter what they did, the injury left by the Fate Severing Slash refused to heal completely.

It was as if he had received a permanent wound—one that had already been accepted as the new natural state of his body.

"Dammit! Why isn't it healing?"

The Demonic Elder couldn't help but curse. His left arm was the one which got directly hit and it refused to heal no matter what he or the other two Great Ascension Realm did.

Still, he gradually regained his strength.

Not his full power—

But enough.

Enough to fight again.

Bai Zihan exhaled slowly.

Three Great Ascension Realm Demonic Elders.

One wounded—but still far more powerful than a Void Refinement Realm elder.

And two others who were equally strong, if not stronger.

Even for him, this was no longer a matter of skill or tactics alone.

There was a sheer disparity in numbers and cultivation.

At that moment, an ancient voice echoed within his sea of consciousness.

(Do you need my help?)

Immortal Emperor Feilian's soul stirred.

Bai Zihan remained silent.

For a brief moment, his grip tightened.

Then—

He shook his head.

"No!"

He flat out refused, which surprised Feilian as well.

(Does he have any other trump cards?)

She wondered.

"Ask for my help immediately if your life is in danger."

"Sure!"

With Feilian's help, he could deal with the three of them—but in the presence of so many Immortals, there was a high chance they would notice her presence.

If that happened, Immortal Realm cultivators might be sent to assassinate him in the future.

Not to mention, assisting him would consume Feilian's Soul Power, delaying her recovery.

And even if she helped him now—who knew when such a situation would arise again?

He needed a method that would help him now—and in the future.

(Looks like it's time to use those System Points.)

Fortunately, there was already a solution.

He had accumulated close to a hundred thousand System Points—more than enough to purchase an extremely powerful technique.

"System!"

He called out, instantly opening the System Store.

He already knew what he wanted.

Like many protagonists in novels—a technique that could temporarily boost his cultivation or combat power.

He ignored everything below Heaven-Grade and went straight to the countless Saint-Grade techniques.

There was no time to carefully compare or select the best one.

The Demonic Elders had finished healing, and the three of them were already moving toward him with clear killing intent.

Bai Zihan's eyes locked onto the most expensive technique in the category of temporary cultivation enhancement.

"Heaven's Mandate Reversal Technque!"

Price: 50,000 System Points—far higher than the average 40,000 required for most Saint-Grade techniques.

But it was clearly a high-tier art—perhaps one of the strongest Saint-Grade Techniques.

The description was concise.

Heaven's Mandate Reversal Technque is an extreme, fate-defying cultivation art that forcefully overturns the limitations imposed by Heaven itself.

To use it, the cultivator must possess an extraordinarily powerful physical body and an immense reserve of Qi.

Without meeting these prerequisites, the Technque cannot function properly and can be dangerous.

A weak body will be torn apart by the surging power—meridians collapsing, bones shattering.

Insufficient Qi will result in only a partial increase in cultivation—or none at all, depending on the amount available.

The technique does not grant power gently.

It forces both the body and cultivation to rise simultaneously, dragging the cultivator to heights they were never meant to be.

Unlike ordinary forbidden techniques, however, Heaven's Mandate Reversal Technque has no fixed limit.

As long as the cultivator's body can endure the strain and their Qi supply remains uninterrupted, the state can be maintained indefinitely—and the cultivator's realm may continue to rise without restriction.

There is no predefined ceiling.

The only true limit is the cultivators themselves.

Those who cannot withstand Heaven's reversed mandate will be crushed by it.

Those who can—Stand beyond fate.

The technique itself was not complicated like the Fate Severing Slash, and the conditions fit Bai Zihan perfectly.

With Primordial Chao Body Refinement Technique, his body should be the strongest of strong.

As for whether it would work or not—he would only know after buying it and using it.

If it failed, then he could only curse his own luck.

"Well, if the worst comes to pass, I can still ask Feilian for help."

Bai Zihan muttered.

The skeletal Demonic Elder let out a shrill, grating laugh.

"Kekeke… what's this?"

He tilted his skull-like head, eerie green flames flickering in his hollow eyes.

"Did you freeze up because of fear?"

Bai Zihan stood still, sword lowered, aura seemingly calm.

To the three Demonic Elders, the situation was obvious.

A Spirit Severing Realm brat, surrounded by three Great Ascension Realm experts—one of whom he had barely survived against—finally realizing the hopelessness of his fate.

It was only natural.

Who wouldn't despair?

Even Great Ascension Realm cultivators would feel pressure in such a situation, let alone a junior who hadn't even stepped into Void Refinement.

The tall Demonic Elder sneered.

"Even if you ran, the outcome would have been the same. You only saved us the trouble of chasing you down."

The wounded elder wiped blood from his mouth, his gaze venomous.

"You should feel honored. Three Great Ascension Demonic Elders are personally going to end your life."

They took a step forward.

The killing intent pressing down was enough to crush mountains.

At that moment—

Bai Zihan opened his eyes.

"Hmph," he said lightly. "Consider it your honor instead."

He raised his head, gaze sweeping across the three elders with blatant arrogance.

"You're going to be my practice dummies."

Laughter erupted.

"Hahaha!"

"Kekeke—truly the last bravado of a dying man!"

"Gone insane already?"

But before the mockery could continue—

"Heaven's Mandate Reversal!"

BOOM!

The air around Bai Zihan collapsed inward.

His Qi surged violently—no longer flowing like a river, but like a raging sea unleashed.

The ground beneath his feet cracked instantly.

"What—?"

The skeletal elder's laughter cut off.

Bai Zihan's aura exploded.

Early Spirit Severing Realm—

Late Spirit Severing Realm—

His cultivation surged in a single breath, shattering bottlenecks as if they didn't exist.

His meridians roared.

His dantian expanded violently.

BOOM!

Void Refinement Realm!

Pressure swept outward like a tidal wave, forcing all three Demonic Elders to halt mid-step.

Their expressions finally changed.

Shock.

Disbelief.

His Qi was still rising.

Still climbing.

And it showed no signs of stopping.

"Let's see who ends up dead today!"
